RAISE YOIIR OWN STOCK.

With so many available crops supple
mented by an unlimited supply of cotton
seed and mild, genial climate superadded,
why should not Southern farmers raise more
stock? Why should mule or horse ever
be brought from the north side of the Ohio
river? Why should hundreds of tons of
butter and oleomargarinef from the North be
sold in the South every year? Why work
ourselves to raise cotton to buy horses,
mules, bacon, flour, lard, meal, glucose or
starch syrup, when every, one of those ex-
cept the glucose, which can be supplanted
by sorghum syrup, can be raised at home
without the slightest difficulty: Why play
into the hands of middlemen, railroads,
banks, spectators, etc., to say nothing OF
the dependence upon the unsteady, unre-
liable laborers in our midst: You say cot
ton is always saleable, always brings cash.
So does first-class butter, SO does good mule
or horse. Jersey butter finds ready. sale
simply because it is good butter. The own
ers of such stock make butter in business
like way; they have good milk-houses and
proper arrangements for cooling and Keep
ing milk water power or some other me-
chanical device for churning. They do not
lose patience in cool weather and pour hot
water in the churn !; they know that slow
churning makes the most and best butter.
They know that large feeds of cotton seed
spoil butter, and they feed something else;
If all our farmers handled their milk and
butter in like manner, Northern butter
would soon be driven out of the market In
the olden time, the little surplus butter on
our farms was regarded as a trifie, and little
attention given it. Hence, we have fallen
into careless ways and methods-let US
change them. Let every farmer arrange to
make butter for market-handle it properly,
make its quality good and its appearance
attractive, and he will always find ready
sale at a good price.-iSomherm CultiUator

SALT AND WOOD AsHEs.-Mr. Joseph f.
Case reports to the Michigan Farmer that
during five years test he has found salt
and wood ashes, Il barrel per acre, mixed
half and half, a specific against cutworms

the pests are very destructive. lone ofmy

LIME FOR INsECTs.-Lime is distasteful
to almost all insects, especially when in a
dry, fine, acrid powder, as when air slaked,
1t is thus of great benefit used as top dres-
sing on all soils and for all crops, especially
in the garden. Melon flies and beetles, cab
bage flies, currant worms, the cabbage-root
worm, and many of the other annoying
pests of the garden are kept in suhjection by
fine air-slaked lime.
